- Beryl became the first hurricane to make landfall in the US during the 2024 season, and the earliest calendar year land falling hurricane in Texas since 1986
- Heavy rains spawned inland and urban flooding in eastern Texas
- Beryl’s slow inland weakening brought hurricane-force wind gusts to the greater Houston metro region
- Previous Hurricane Beryl landfalls: Grenada’s Carriacou Island (July 1; Category 4) and Tulum, Mexico (July 5; Category 2)
